Etymology
'cooperatively-preserved' originates from the combination of 'cooperative' and 'preserved', where 'cooperative' comes from Latin 'cooperari', meaning 'to work together', and 'preserved' from Latin 'praeservare', meaning 'to keep safe'.
'cooperatively-preserved' evolved from the combination of 'cooperative' and 'preserved', which were used separately in Middle English and later combined in modern English.
Initially, 'cooperative' meant 'working together', and 'preserved' meant 'kept safe'. The combined term 'cooperatively-preserved' now refers to something maintained through joint effort.
